| A very good day to be sea-watching in the south-west. The first Mega came mid
morning, when a Fea's Petrel flew west past Gwennap Head, Porthgwarra, Cornwall.
This site logged 47 Great Shearwaters and 16 Cory's Shearwaters by
6pm. The second Mega species seen was a Yelkouan Shearwater, which flew
past Start Point, Devon, late morning. The same observer at the same site then
scored a Barolo Shearwater early evening, as well as a single Cory's
Shearwater, two Great Shearwaters and an impressive 255 Balearic
Shearwaters.
Other new rarities discovered today included a Red-footed Falcon over Langdale End, North Yorkshire, a Gull-billed Tern at Lady's Island Lake and a White-rumped Sandpiper at The Cull, both County Wexford, and a Black Kite over Carbis Bay, Cornwall. Lingering rarities included seven Two-barred Crossbills and Western Subalpine Warbler on Shetland, another Two-barred Crossbill in Lancashire, Blue-winged Teal in Cambridgeshire, Black Duck in County Kerry, Long-billed Dowitcher in Hampshire, Lesser Yellowlegs in Carmarthenshire, Bonaparte's Gull in Kent and Glossy Ibis in Pembrokeshire. |
